Nextmod is a competitive Left 4 Dead 2 config, designed to work with Sir's 'Competitive Rework'.

⚠ For Server Owners:

NextMod is designed to work with Sir's Competitive Rework Platform if your server is not set up correctly you may have to alter files in order for the config to work properly!

ℹ About NextMod

NextMod is heavily influenced by community feedback, if you have a suggestion don't feel afraid to get at me.

NextMod is a competitive config based upon the community favourite ZoneMod, but it also brings back some of our old favourite features from other mods such as the Witch, and jump rocks, as well as some new features!

This is the last version for a while. It is now at a stable spot and is ready to be played. Unless game breaking issues are found, new updates will be spread out.

What is NextMod Pug?

NextMod Pug contains older, more unbalanced features, such as the Witch, Jumprocks, etc..

Main Features / Reasoning Behind Them

---

Quads are back :)

Sound Removing Sound Removing was added to save our ears and to remove the unfair advantage some players get when they use the snd_restart command, while others do not.

Health Bonus System The new health bonus system was added due to the amount of complaints I've heard about the previous system.

Fixed Spawn Rotations Spawn rotations are now handled by a plugin rather than the bestest engine ever. This means that infected spawn rotations will be more consistent, predictable and reliable, benefiting both teams!

nextmod's Issues

About 1v1 2v2 3v3 mapcvars

In other 1v1 2v2 3v3 configs always have used l4d_mapbased_cvars.smx to limit some final map horde.

I saw your 1v1 config have placed mapcvars.txt , but not load in config.

Put:

// [l4d_mapbased_cvars.smx]
l4d_mapcvars_configdir nextmod1v1

in nextmod1v1.cfg

And 2v2、3v3 even don't have load l4d_mapbased_cvars.smx , it should make huge horde in some final map.

l4d_inaudible_ghosts.smx is now loaded in generalfixes

Yet another plugin to not load in your config.

specrates.smx is now loaded in sharedplugins.cfg + unclosed c2m2 structure

No need to load optional/nextmod/specrates.smx anymore and maybe close the c2m2 structure (line 31). Check this issue for more information. I've closed the structure on other configs and yours as well in the server install.

some of prevorios authors of l4d2_tank_attack_control_nextmod.sp was forgotten

Can I change 3vs3 tank health

Hey there! Thanks a lot for your work!
I recently tried nextmod 3v3 and found tank health a little bit too high.
According to confogl.cfg, tank health has been changed to 3000 with

confogl_addcvar z_tank_health 3350

but in fact, it seems not to work and tank health is 5000.
I also tried to type in sm_cvar z_tank_health 3000 in console but it also doesn't help
I am wondering how I can modify tank health?
